No. 115 was admitted into the archive for its exceptional scale and the density of its full-field diamond repeat. The pattern — a continuous nested diamond with cross motifs covering the entire surface without border interruption — indicates a weaver operating at an advanced technical level. Most weavers of this era produced striped variations. A full-coverage diamond of this precision, sustained across 75" × 63" with no breaks, is uncommon in surviving Frazadas.

Hand-loomed in the Cusco highlands on a traditional backstrap loom. The weaver ties the loom to a fixed point and uses their own body as the tension mechanism — which is why the width of every Frazada reflects the human scale of its maker. The central union seam on No. 115 is that record — two panels woven separately and hand-joined at the center. The plain fringe perimeter binding is intact at all four edges.

Originally engineered as a heavy-duty thermal barrier for high-altitude Andean winters. The rose pink pigment — likely derived from cochineal or regional plant matter — has undergone decades of authentic fading, producing a subtle gradient between the two panels: the left retains more of the original saturation while the right has softened toward pale blush. This tonal asymmetry is the signature of authentic age. It cannot be manufactured. Acquired directly from Cusco, Peru. One of a kind — when this piece sells, it is gone.

• Pattern density: Selected for the rare full-field nested diamond repeat with cross motifs — a weaver-intensive pattern requiring continuous geometric precision across the entire loom width. No border interruptions. No stripe divisions. The repeat runs edge to edge across both panels at 75" × 63".
• Tonal gradient: The natural fade differential between the two panels creates a soft gradient — deeper rose on the left, pale blush on the right — that performs exceptionally well in Quiet Luxury, warm minimalist, and Japandi interiors where tonal depth carries more weight than bold color.
• Spatial application: At 75" × 63" this is one of the largest pieces in the archive — functioning as a primary area rug, a statement wall hanging, or a layering textile over sisal or jute in larger living spaces.

No. 115 is the rose field piece — it earns attention through density and patina rather than contrast or bold color pairing. The rose pink and natural cream palette, softened by decades of authentic use, performs best in warm minimalist, Japandi, and organic modern interiors where the geometry of the weave becomes the focal point. It disappears into maximalist rooms — it commands quiet ones.

At 75" × 63" this is one of the larger pieces in the archive. It functions well as a primary area rug in a bedroom, living room, or dining space. Hung vertically the full-field diamond pattern reads as architectural at this scale — closer to a textile work than a floor covering.

Recommended companion objects: natural linen upholstery, white plaster walls, bleached or raw oak furniture, warm terrazzo surfaces. The rose and cream register performs well alongside other organic textiles — jute, rattan, undyed cotton — and against warm neutral interior palettes where the gradient fade becomes the focal element.

Use cases: primary area rug · bedroom anchor · wall hanging · layered over natural jute · dining room statement · architectural textile work

Hand-spun sheep wool is naturally soil-resistant and durable. For routine care shake gently outdoors and air periodically in indirect sunlight. Spot clean only with cool water and a mild pH-neutral wool detergent — never hot water or harsh chemicals as the organic dyes may bleed. Avoid high-suction vacuuming directly on the surface. Professional dry cleaning only if necessary — specialist in antique or oriental textiles only. Never machine wash or tumble dry.

This piece has survived decades of authentic use in the Andean highlands. With proper care it will outlast most things in your home.
